Nah, as a middle aged person at the bottom of the dating pool, there’s a lot of delusional thinking. A lot. A lot a lot. For example, me: 42, divorced, not rich but not poor - six figure income, her: 36, was “career oriented” but now feels like she missed the boat on kids; her: “If you don’t propose within the first 3 months, you’re not interested in marriage, just wasting time.” Also her: “A man is supposed to take care of me.” Again her: “what’s his is mine and what’s mine is mine”. This is the delusional thinking that exists in the dating world. That some rich Prince Charming is going to come save the hard working but hard partying girl who just realized she’s a woman.

I deleted my apps and will just eventually die alone.
